ok there are a few points i myself don't like as all breeder would have to rewrite their health guarantees as many breeders state you have 24 to 72hours on average to bring a puppy to a vet

NOW in many states breeders are allowed to give wormings and vacinations to the puppies with some stapling the package to a paper dating when given.
if i read this bill correctly that no longer is the case

in essence i dont' agree with the WHOLE BILL and see it as a way
that would also cause breeders having to raise their prices to covering additional vet bills along with possibly refundings.

i do NOT like purchaser for any reason can return puppy for refund
i see too many loopholes with this...also the purchaser is not required to return the puppy to seller if vet diagnoses a pet with an illness?!?

again too many loopholes as the type of illness is not stated
so let's say a puppy gets roundworms totally normal does that mean a purchaser can get a full refund and not return puppy to seller?
and then what? they can sell the puppy or give it to a shelter?

I am in AGREEMENT with the age of 8 weeks to be sold to anyone
but for me .....that bill needs soem WORK and clearly stated facts laid out

or i see more problems developing
and breeders having a hard time offering a health guarantee

to me 15days is a long time........now in someone's case like MTD who raced his dog to a vet the moment it arrived at the airport i see him being protected
HOWEVER what if someone takes their puppy to dog park, petsmart, or who knows ,that isn't fully vacinnated yet due to age requirements and yes it gets parvo which can have a 3 to 10day incubation period
then possibly the breeder is going to be held responsible when the fact may be the puppy got it elsewhere especially if the breeders other puppies dont' have it at all. and the breeder on top of full refund would also have to pay up to $500 in vet bills?

maybe i am being to technical in some areas? then again i would want the type of diseases diagnosed by a vet spelled out in the bill
and does this also negate a breeder askign for a 2nd opinon?

i too say the bill is vague in ways that needs MORE SPECIFICS laid out

i also see it as a way of people giving up breeding and/or raising prices
